ASUU STRIKE: FG MAKES A U-TURN, WITHDRAWS ORDER TO VICE-CHANCELLORS TO REOPEN UNIVERSITIES

The Federal Government, through the National Universities Commission, on Monday, withdrew its circular ordering vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors and governing councils to re-open federal universities.

 You will recall, that the federal Government issued a circular, addressing all vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors, and chairmen of governing councils of federal universities, to resume back at the class rooms.

However, in another circular  which was also signed by the NUC Director of Finance and Account, Sam Onazi, the commission withdrew the order without giving reasons.

 Meanwhile, the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities has said it did not receive any official information on the call for resumption by the NUC or any government ministry.
